لَمْ يَعُدْني مُحمَّدٌ مُذْ تَشَكِّيْتُ

وَكم جِئْتُهُ وَحَاشَاهُ عَائدْ

Since I complained, Muhammad does not console me,

Though often I came to him with my plaint.

وَهْوَ لا يَنكُرُ السِّراجَ وَكَمْ ضَ

مَّهُما في المَسَاءِ وَقْتٌ وَاحِدْ

He does not deny the lamp, though much it grieved him.

We had an appointment at evening the same time.
